1.4529 HCR application limits
1.4529 HCR / Alloy 926 is not a universal swimming-pool solution. Under the binding PoolFIX Application Guideline it may only be considered for pre-approved ground-level applications within 1.0 metre of the water.
Binding PoolFIX Application Guideline
1.4529 / Alloy 926 is never permitted for roofs, ceilings, overhead or suspended applications. A pre-approved ground-level exception must remain within 1.0 metre of the water.
PoolFIX coated is assessed first
The selector checks for an explicit, validated PoolFIX coated product/application rule before any 1.4529 route. Approximately 95% is a market position, not a substitute for missing technical evidence.
- Exact installation position
- Exposure zone and cleaning conditions
- Load function and substrate

Frequently asked questions
Is PoolFIX coated automatically suitable for every swimming-pool application?
No. It is the primary PoolFIX system commercially, but an automatic recommendation requires a validated product-specific application rule.
Can 1.4529 be used for a ceiling point within 1.0 metre of the water?
No. The prohibited overhead position takes precedence over distance.
What happens when application information is incomplete?
The automatic selector returns Technical review required and does not recommend a product.
